Council Gift of Caring

Service permeates every aspect of our culture. In Girl Scouting,
girls learn the value of giving back, and this includes our Cookie
program. The Gift of Caring program allows girls to choose
organizations they want to support—and then they sell cookies to
donate to these causes

Troop2Troops is our virtual Gift of Caring program, where girls
sell cookes and at the end of the program they are shipped directly to
the USO Metropolitan Washington. Troop2Troops supports our
military, thanks to the USO, which shares the Girl Scout Cookies with
veteran hospitals and military lounges in airports in our region. A
Troop2Troops patch is available in our Girl Scout shop.

While working in their community,troops build relationships
with their local hometown heroes. Perhaps they earned the Be
Prepared patch working with their local fire station, volunteered
to maintain a garden at a nursing home, or are working on a Journey
project. Girls choose their local Hometown Heroes and sell
Cookies to donate at the end of the Cookie program.
